Real Sociedad will be fighting to keep their UEFA Champions League campaign alive when they host Manchester United on Tuesday.

Jagoba Arrasate's side failed to take a single point from their opening three Group A fixtures, with the most recent of their defeats coming at the hands of United, who won 1-0 at Old Trafford last month thanks to Inigo Martinez's own goal after 69 seconds - the fastest own goal in Champions League history.

That came on the back of a 2-0 home defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk on matchday one and a 2-1 loss at Bayer Leverkusen a fortnight later.

Sociedad's elimination will be confirmed if they lose on Tuesday, or if they draw and Leverkusen win in Ukraine in the group's other fixture.

While they have struggled in Europe, Sociedad have prospered recently in La Liga, winning three and drawing one of their last four matches - including a 5-0 thumping of Osasuna on Saturday.

United, meanwhile, sit top of the pool undefeated with seven points from their three games thanks to a 4-2 home win over Leverkusen and a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Donetsk before their success over the Spaniards.

If United win it will be their first European away victory since November 7 last year, and manager David Moyes knows the fixture will not be a simple task for his side.

"It will be a difficult game in Sociedad," he said.

"To go and play any team in Spain who have qualified for the Champions League would be a hard test.

"We'll go there and hopefully try and get a result which can continue our good form in the group."

Their most recent visit to Spain came in last year's round of 16 when they drew 1-1 with Real Madrid before losing the home leg 2-1 and being eliminated.

Overall, United's away record against Spanish opposition is poor with just two wins, nine draws and 10 defeats from 21 matches.

Domestically, Moyes' side have improved in recent weeks after a shaky start, winning three and drawing one of their last four Premier League games. Saturday's 3-1 success at Fulham leaves them eighth, eight points adrift of leaders Arsenal.

After the game at Craven Cottage, Moyes admitted he had a number of injury worries ahead of the trip to Anoeta.

"Rafael looks as if he might be the biggest doubt, going over on his ankle," the Scot said.

"Tom (Cleverley) - hopefully the double vision will be okay in a day or two's time and Jonny (Evans), I couldn't tell you how his back would be."

Table Games

Of all the systems you can actually bet on a soccer match this really is the simplest ; simply prognosticate whether the match will end in a home win , an away win or maybe a draw and place your money down accordingly . In case your prediction is correct , you win at the odds the bookmaker has quoted . As long as the final result is different from your own prediction , you lose .

Correct Score

Yet another relatively simple type of bet , with this one you need to simply predict the score at the end of normal time period ( not after extra time , or penalties , or over two legs ) . Remember that possible scores are generally quoted as home team first , away team second , so make double-sure you get all of them the proper way down before you decide to place any money down .

While Correct Score is an easy bet to make , given there are lots of probable outcomes of a single game , the odds of guessing accurately are likely to be quite minimal , turning this type of bet quite unpopular with serious tipsters .

Accumulators

Accumulators give you the option to bet on the results of several matches at once . The more sports event you bet on , the better your odds become . Then again , these are way more risky than single Correct Score bets considering that every bet in your Accumulator will have to come good , otherwise you lose . Double and treble accumulators are among the most recommended , though bookmakers will be happy for you to bet on as many events as you desire .

Halftime/Fulltime

A twist on Correct Score , Halftime/Fulltime ( or simply HT/FT as you may find it marketed as ) permits you to prognosticate what the score of a sports event will be first after 45 minutes and then after 90 . With this particular kind of bet , you surely will be given 9 alternatives , representing the 9 different available results . For example , you can actually back a team to be level at half time and win over 90 mins or even to be ahead at the half time and end up as losers .

First Goal Scorer

Remember , this is as simple as it sounds like . Straightforwardly forecast who will score the first goal in a game and back this player . As compared to other , more risky bets , this is usually a pretty risk-free choice , especially when you have a good knowledge of form going into a match . But bear in mind , bookmakers sometimes change their rules , so while some may count an own goal as the first one of the match , others might overlook these and only count 'normal' goals . Furthermore , while some bookies will give you your money back if the player you back is not on the soccer field at the time of the first goal , some will not .

First Goal Scorer may very well be combined with Correct Score or Full-time Result , with these combinations providing much better odds .

First Corner

This particular bet will let you prognosticate when the first corner of a soccer game will be , wither to the exact minute or within a specified period ( for instance , between 10 and 15 minutes ) . The odds available for this type of bet usually are quite eye-catching , despite the fact that it's difficult – or even impossible – to prognosticate this accurately , making First Corner more a fun flutter rather than a serious bet .

Number of Corners

As well as being able to predict when the first corner of a game will be , you may also be able to bet on how many corners there will be in one soccer match . Remember , you can get longer odds for betting on an exact number , but you will be able to spread your bets , for instance by placing money on there being between 5 and 10 corners in the standard 90 mins .

In Play Markets

A quite new and very popular phenomenon , In Play Markets permit you to place bets as matches progress , with odds constantly shifting . As an example , when a team goes behind early on , you may bet on them coming from behind to win , and even back a certain player to get the next goal . Some on-line bookmakers supply live streaming of sports events , providing punters the possiblity to place bets as the action unfolds , and , as long as you have funds in your account , you are free to change your mind as frequently as you desire .
